I do is come to the office, think of day’s planning and what I need done.  More and more I’m living by the calendar.  Part of me hates that while its opposing twin knows it’s necessary with a business...

Tired and not in

In the adjunct cell, and

Stories

9:57.  No wine.  Just meditation.  Thinking.  About everything.  The whole notion of a career and one in the wine world or one with writing and one with teaching at some university, interpreting...

Top Floor, Please

Up not as early as I’d hoped but I’m up.  My laptop clock or time reader or little ‘here’s where you are in the day’ corner tells me it’s 6:30.  6:30.  Most people aren’t even up right now, least those...

The next morning I wake to Jackie

7/24/15– notes

Meeting with client, then what.  Writing, whole day to self.  May do short run, but the writer needs time to meditate think in the context of the novel.  6:54AM, and not much in a mood for writing.  So...

Morning, 7/26/15

The next day.  Shamed in that I don’t write till the next day, the next morning, and not at the hour I want, which frustrates me to no end.  And then I have it decided that I’ll leave work a bit early...

Pinot and the Penner

On my last Pinot glass, and feeling relieved and free, with this consolidating urge, all writings funneled and filtered into one effort or voice, or book– that’s what it is!  I say to myself.  I need...

MOCK SOMM:  Cirq , Treehouse Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, 2012
